The compound formed is calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2. Calcium forms a +2 ion and the nitrate polyatomic forms a -1 ion. In order to balance out the charges, you need two nitrate ions to bond with one calcium. This ratio is reflected in the formula, which places the nitrate in parentheses with the "2" subscript outside it, which means there are two of them.
Calcium Nitrate
This compound is calcium nitrate.
The standard name of this compound is Nitrogen(II) Oxide. It is generally known as nitric oxide.
Ionic bonds and also covalent bonds
One formula unit of calcium chloride, CaCl2, contains a calcium ion, Ca2+, and two chloride ions, Cl-.
Mg(NO3)2 is called magnesium nitrate. You do not use the prefix di for the nitrate since this is an ionic compound, and it can only be (NO3)2 as nitrate has a -1 charge and Mg has a +2 charge.
1. Compound and substance are synonyms. 2. A compound is formed from molecules containing two or more elements.
The calcium ion is Ca2+ and the nitrate ion is NO3- and together they form Ca(NO3)2
Na+1 NO3- => Na(NO3)
The NO3 polyatomic anion has a charge of 1-. Writing (NO3)3 means there are 3 such anions, each with a 1- charge, or a total charge of 3-. An example of this might be in the compound aluminum nitrate, Al(NO3)3.
CaCl2.
The standard name of this compound is Nitrogen(II) Oxide. It is generally known as nitric oxide.
No, it is a salt made of 1 Ca2+ ion and 2 Cl- ions with no total net charge. Hope this helps
Ionic bonds and also covalent bonds
H+1 and NO3-1 produce nitric acid. The two charges cancel so the compound has a net charge of 0.
